Birth Control: 1965



Over more than five decades prior to the year 1965, Margret Sanger concieved the idea of birth control. By the 1930s scientists had a standard for Sanger's dream birth control. Decades later in 1964 feminists protested to be granted the right to use the contraceptive method as well as have it easily accessible. The Supreme Court in 1965 ruled for the first time that married couples had the constitutional right to purchase and use contraception. Griswold vs. Connecticut was a milestone case that granted privacy for men and women.
